Now that's just BS....No-One our for a cruise around the bay will put
as much effort into trimming, tweaking and maintaining max VMG...ever!



Of my many sailing friends, all but two of us are racers. Aboard their
boats it's ALWAYS a race. Always tweaking, always pushing. I learned a
lot this summer because of that and I plan to push the 35s5 as well.
It's fun. This thread was started as: Fastest Racer/Cruisers. See the
opening post. Multihulls simply don't qualify and only one person in
this whole group seems to want one. I certainly don't know anyone who
wants one. Most of us dream of Baltics and Swans, not PDQ's or Prouts.

I would much prefer a multi. I've had my eye on the F-33 since it came out.
The true ocean cruiser is also a possibility, but I don't like the fact that
it isn't the folding type.

A very cool boat. Not roomy, but I like the idea getting it south
in 24 hours @ 60 mph in the Winter, no need to shrink wrap, and
then off cruising the Bahamas which is not friendly to keelboats!

Now THAT'S a fun multi. I can see the point of one of those for a good
time.

# Appearance. I'll leave that to you. They grow on you.


I've looked at cats for years. I can stand some of the larger ones. But
models under around 45 feet are ugly. They all look the the Enterprise
Shuttlecraft after a water landing. The beauty of a sailboat is a big
factor for a lot of sailors.

And this is a bad thing? Shuttlecraft can do faster than light.
